“One of the guided missiles fell 10 meters from the nuclear waste barrels. Others are a little further – 50, 200 meters. Since the site itself is open, the arrival of a projectile or MLRS missile will lead to a violation of the integrity of the storage, and some amount of nuclear waste […] enters the environment, contamination occurs, release. In simple terms, it will be a “dirty bomb,” Rogov said, TASS reports.
He named the second weak point of nuclear power plants of the cooling system, which is also often subjected to shelling. Their damage can lead to a man-made disaster.
